America Made Me a Black Man – Boyah J. Farah | The Chris Hedges Report

1. I’ve seen just as much Dominican , Nigerian and Haitians blacker than black in the United States of America that have taken the opportunity to work their ass off with 2 jobs and live better than many white Americans born and raised. This dude was not forced at gun point into my country, so if he finds America so racist, and unforgiving, guess what, he can just as easily go back to Somalia, where most people are still just as Somali as he, and have the same complexion.

2. Black Americans have complained about racism for centuries. Does this somehow validate Black Americans?

3. Boyah and others who come to spaces dominated by white people are living with very heavy blinkers on. How can you come amongst people, who show you for the most part that they have a great disdain for you because of what you look like and you continue to believe the lies you heard about America. America's white people and the rest of the western white people have come together as a collective ,despite their differences. They have sought to debase and terrorise anyone who is not white, black people in particular. Sadly for you as Somalian they see you as just another set of black people to be mistreat. Why would you see all this in front of you and live the experience of something other than full people and attempt to deny reality. You have sought to disassociate yourselves from this by telling yourselves we are not the same as those black people, we are better and or different and therefore don't deserve the treatment. They treat us as a collective and untill we become a collective with a common purpose to fight and win against their wicked mindset we will remain their target.

4. Tell what we know and go through everyday! It happens all the time!

5. We call is that yes your "BLACK" WAKE UP CALL". What our decendants don't understand is that African/Black is the same in the UNITED SNAKKKES OF AMERIKKKA!

6. BLACK MEANS 3/5 HUMAN! WHEN EN SLAVED WERE BROUGHT OVER THEY WERE AFRICANS AS STATED ON RECORDS. WHEN WERE DEHUMANIZED AND REDUCED TO LESS THAN CHATTLE PROPERTY WERE CALL BLACK! BLACK IN ADJECTIVE NOT A PROPER NOUN!

7. As a Black American he’s saying what many of us know to be true not only about amerika but the difference between Black Americans and black immigrants. They come here with those same anti-black(ados) trying there best to assimilate. They know there’s no benefit to joining arms Keith bottom caste. Until reality check comes around

8. I have to get this book it's reminds me of my time spent growing up in Canada same experiences.thanks chris for a great show..

9. He proves that black people are delusional. When they don't buy into the rhetoric of the conservative, which is actually an illusion. like a magician's trick They saturate the black community with the subliminal suggestions of subterfuge,
   machinations, intrigue, to keep us off-balance in order to promote their agenda of subjugation..

10. My family and what's left of my family were in Cyprus Greece when the British invaded in the 1950s and murdered most of the children in my family.
    
    This guy is very lucky to have a voice. Because nobody in Cyprus and Greece got a voice. Turkey invaded in the 1970s and even murdered more of my family.
    
    And NATO and the American military just watched and did nothing. And my family is a sacred institution. I inherited Greek Humanity from my family.
    And now I help the victims of the British and Turkey and American Empires. The US media network and NATO ignore my questions. I'm not here to offend any one.

    I'm just being honest. There's nothing decent about Americans, Turks, British. I'm still not allowed to go home to Cyprus. And the US, Turkey, and UK, won't leave my home.

11. "They are afraid, I know that. The white people and their police force are afraid. What frightens them is not the thirteen percent of the population, the black people, that they fixate on. What frightens them, in the end, is the memory of their own ruthless brutality, the judgment of their own conscience. The past always comes alive in the present, and with the passage of time, the history of race takes its shape in each individual soul, black and white."

    This is so spot on. Just look at the hysterical reaction to CRT. The mere suggestion that schools could incorporate a teaching of history using a lens that allows for the perspectives and experiences of black americans has caused many white americans to become hysterical and unhinged. They insist that it will result in making white children hate themselves. This makes zero sense and really speaks to their mentality and priorities. I, for one, think we should have incorporated something along the lines of CRT long ago. I actually think that the whole history curriculum could use an overhaul. Everything I learned in school about the US, events happening both within the country and outside it, can easily be summed up in one word: propaganda. We are doing a great disservice to our children by denying them a context that would provide a more accurate understanding of the world they live in.

12. ST. YOU FORGOT THAT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS FRASE. DIVIDE AND YOU WILL WIN. IS WHAT IS IS ON THE GOVERMENT MIND. AND WILL PRESERVE ON THE FUTURE
    DISCRIMINATE IS DIVIDE DO YOU UNDERSTAND. UNIDTED STATES IS BEEN DIVEDEN ALL COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. ALSO CREATING A HATE AGAINST TO THE OTHER

13. Peace my brothers, stay strong, you are truly my brother. Peace

14. Minnisota is now somalia

15. "America made me a black man."
    Okay, what was he in the first place?

16. If Amerika looks . #peoplesreset will figure it out… White or Black look inside an say we want the same opportunity. Government in GR right now is what it is… NEWS NETWORK OF NSA. BRIDGE moment cause it's hard. Ask Brown University V🎈DAY!

17. A Somali unaccustomed to racism? I know several Somalis, and one thing they all agree on, is that Somalia is extremely hierarchical, almost everything depends on bloodlines, and people from "inferior" bloodlines are oppressed, or even killed.

    Somalia has exterminated the Christian and pagan groups, so they're no longer discriminated against. However, minor clans ('clan' is pretty much "tribe, only with better genealogical records and stricter rules against marrying outsiders") are brutally oppressed and in danger for their lives, as are often people who, for some reason, are dealing with or depending on people from another clan. They've been killing each other over clan affiliation, in genocidal wars, for decades, if not centuries. White people visiting Somalia have an abominable survival rate, as do Asians, especially non-Muslims. It's not like any of this is a secret.

    What may be less known is this: Boyah J. Farah refers to being a nomad, which means he's probably from one of the "noble clans", which will put him in the absolute elite in Somali society.

    It makes sense, then, if he lead a privileged life in Somalia, and only experienced injustice after he became a refugee. Not being treated as part of the elite 10% in the US was probably traumatic. Not to mention seeing a woman promoted over him; that would certainly never happen in his idea of "a land of freedom".

    I'm not saying that foreign interference isn't a major cause for Somalia's recent history, but that interference succeeded by playing on preexisting conflict lines, which were, and are, based on race, that is, theories of superiority based on the ancestry of large groups.

    Anyway, a very disappointing lack of critical questions. If someone holds a country torn apart by internal strife up as an ideal of freedom, you ask questions!

18. Cool guy!

19. His family didn't know USA is built on racism. Duh.

20. Unapologetically humane American Journalism .

21. What a joke. Poor man was pulled from his worn torn shixhole to come here…the horror. The book should be called…How to grift for the left…perpetual victimhood! Trump and the Right? You're a joke. Race grifters for the left. The Demoncraps…former slave owners and KKK founders have destroyed black communities. I too immigrated from a worn torn shixhole. This country saved us. We worked hard…never played this victimhood game. You're all complicit with the continued destruction of POC.

22. This is an excellent segment explaining some serious issues! So thankful, Mr. Farah realizes it's a system of racism in America, that many real Americans simply deny even exists.

23. 🙏❤️🙏Thanks for History lesson and the truth.
    🙏❤️🙏

24. He was black before he left the continent of Africa. Yet Somalis think they are Arab. It's still sad but he didn't truly know America.

25. THE BULLSHIT RUNS DEEP IN THIS ONE OBI-WAN !?
